Questions & Answers about kuukou ni hayaku tsukitai node, ashita wa shihatsu ni noru tsumori desu.
Why is 空港 followed by に?
Because 着く means to arrive, and the place you arrive at is marked with に.
- 空港に着く = arrive at the airport
- Here, に marks the destination.
This is different from verbs like 行く and 来る, where both に and へ can mark a destination. With 着く, に is the normal choice.
Why is it 早く, not 早い?
早い is an i-adjective, meaning early or fast, depending on context.
To modify a verb, you change an i-adjective into its adverb form by replacing い with く.
- 早い → 早く
So:
- 早く着きたい = want to arrive early
Here, 早く modifies the verb 着きたい.
How is 着きたい formed, and what does it mean grammatically?
